In terms of packages that matter to me, it's only these libs which are claimed by prelink to not be compiled with -fPIC. /usr/lib/libxml++-2.6.so.2 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 I decided to try to graft CFLAGS=-fPIC on libxml++ and rebuild the package, however when it builds I see it likes to use libtool, and the output of that already has -fPIC and -DPIC I didn't add, for example g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DLIBXMLPP_BUILD -I. -I../.. -I../../libxml++ -I../.. -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/glibmm-2.4 -I/usr/lib/glibmm-2.4/include -I/usr/include/sigc++-2.0 -I/usr/lib/sigc++-2.0/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -march=armv5te -MT schemavalidator.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/schemavalidator.Tpo -c schemavalidator.cc -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/schemavalidator.o It's absent on executable build lines but I think that's OK from what I understand. So I think it's at least trying to be built -fPIC by itself already. I installed the new package and prelinked the lib -bash-4.0# prelink -v /usr/lib/libxml++-2.6.so.2 ... Prelinking /usr/lib/libxml++-2.6.so.2.0.7 -bash-4.0# Then I tried to prelink the executable that is not prelinked due to failure with /usr/lib/libxml++-2.6.so.2 -bash-4.0# prelink -v /usr/bin/txtr-client-proxy ... Prelinking /usr/bin/txtr-client-proxy prelink: /usr/bin/txtr-client-proxy: Cannot prelink against non-PIC shared library /usr/lib/libxml++-2.6.so.2 -bash-4.0# So prelink did not complain when run on the lib but did complain when run on the executable that binds to the lib, and it complained then about the lib. Is there something I can do with, eg, objdump to probe the PIC-ness of /usr/lib/libxml++-2.6.so.2 that prelink refuses to work with or otherwise debug this futher? -Andy _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
